Player of the Week: Eric Feige

Eric hails from Glen Rock and has been playing with the Waldwick Seniors since 2009 (or so).  Eric was introduced to the Waldwick Seniors through "C" when they both worked at KPMG.  Eric now works for Prudential in Newark - leading Digital Strategy.  Eric grew up in Venezuela and Oklahoma, but was educated at Fordham University and NYU.  He has called Bergen County home for some time now and plans on remaining in the area at least until his two daughters (ages 16 and 14) are well into college.  Eric has mellowed on the pitch over the years.  He used to be a defensive midfielder / stopper with goon-like dispossession skills.  Yellow (and some red cards) were common.  Now, he just enjoys being on the turf playing what ever position is needed for the game. 

Regards,

Eric

Good Friday, April 18

Cool and overcast, perfect!  We played 7 v 7 with various goals and rules, mostly with two hurdles as goals at each end.  We played crosswise on a red field so the girls lacrosse team could practice on the other end.  Rocc brought Steve, Doug brought Doug and Tomasso brought a friend, Jose. Jay brought his knees and Mark Schwartz showed up for the first time in a long time along with his injured groin.  A grand time was had by all.  See you Sunday.
